After braving the weather to be a Walter Reed this past Friday the snow continued to fall through Saturday. At 10AM Saturday we had around 20" on the ground.

BELOW LEFT: Our driveway. Vehicle on right is not as covered as the left because we used it for Walter Reed. BELOW RIGHT: Progress!!

BUT WE WERE ON THE CORNER IN SPIRIT!!!

Whats that red thing up there?

And there is a flag with it

All right!! The Olney Patriots are here without really being there. NOTE: Picture taken on Monday afternoon after our street was finally plowed.

Yep, just like Week 206 when we got up to Olney before the December 18/19 big storm hit, we set up the red banner on Friday. And just like December, the banner took some hits because of the freezing, windy weather. I had to trudge thru the deep snow to duct tape one support that snapped.

I believe that well be out this Saturday coming up. We may have to work around the plowed mounds, but it will be sunny and in the upper 30s.

WARNING TO FREEPERS ATTENDING OLNEY

Some new money making SPEED CAMERAS have been installed on north bound Georgia Avenue right before you enter the main business district. Slow your speed after the light at King William Drive.

And a new one has been placed just south of Brookeville, between Brookeville and the Longwood Community Center.

As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.

Actually around the 3rd time. First was the big Gathering of Eagles Rally in March, 2007, 2nd was this past December.

For other rallies in DC when the FReepers go, the Legionnaires have held down the corner.

When we get plowed out of this recent storm, we’ll have to check out the banner. With 40MPH+ wind gusts I’m sure it is taking a beating. The pvc supports are getting old now (Albion Wilde made the banner about 3 years ago) and it is also used at Walter Reed.

You know, troop, I’ve been a little bit jealous of you guys getting all that beautiful snow. We only get these piddling little “dustings” spread out over weeks. It has not been more than 3 inches combined since the end of Dec. Of course it’s enough for parishioners to call off church. LOL. Wimpy Christians. I’ve had more free time this winter than I’ve ever had. But snow? Not so much. We are on the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers. I think that moderates our weather. Some of the local folk say it’s due to the power plants. LOL.
